Seagate Expansion External Drive DisassemblyThanks muchly for your post. Your comment "you will break off several, if not all, of the tabs" made the task much simpler :-) Many thanks. I didn't realize it was a SATA drive until I pulled it apart. I was working on a friend's old computer and thought I'd back up his hard drive 1st and this external drive I was using looked like it would work. Nope. However I do have a bunch of SATA drives around, so with your help I now have an easy way to work with them. Thanks again. ... Michael Michael Halladay Interesting. I just put in a Western Digital 1.5tb into the device and Windows 7 gave a pop-up saying it recognized a 'Seagate' device, but it doesn't show up anywhere. Michael Halladay You probably have to prepare it using Disk Management: Start Menu -> Control Panel -> System and Maintenance -> Create and format hard disk partitions It should show up there. Then you can delete it, repartition it, and reformat it. Chieh Cheng Just got it working. Went to Administrator (heck if I know why Windows 7 doesn't allow me to everything under my own (admin) id), selected msconfig, then tools, then launch computer management. From disk management there, I could format it. Using my own id (which has Admin privs) no way could I get to disk management - weird. Anyway, going to Device Management, it still thinks it's a Seagate drive. Interesting, eh? (By the way I don't have a Systems and Maintenance icon - only the usual SYSTEM one. I'll see from what I've learned if I can create one. Thanks muchly for your help. Michael Halladay My model ST315005EXA101-RK , the usb PCB port is beoken and i have throw it away.Is there any aftermarket enclosure compatible with this hard disk? I have searched the biggest IT store in my area and it is not avail. Please help. Rowdy Rahz Any 3.5-inch SATA enclosure will work. However, I prefer docks so that you can swap hard drives in and out . . . like one of these: Plugable USB 3.0/2.0 SATA Hard Drive Docking Station (LucidPort chipset) Chieh Cheng That is for desktop what i want is be portable as i always carry it around.. Rowdy Rahz Please provide with a video tutorial on "How to disassemble Seagate Expansion Desk". If you are having any link on how to disassemble, please provide...Thanks!! Aditya Shah Don't even think to use a screwdriver! ! ! Iax The drive inside my seagate expansion croaked so i opened it up and replaced it with a 2TB WD caviar green Andres Lindo Hi, thanks for the manual. I could replace the original 500GB with a 2TB HD. Works without problems on my Mac. Cheers, J J Hi, Dave Brown Got an old 500gb drive - thanks to your site its now rocking a 2TB drive Bryan I tried a 4 TB drive and it only recognizes 2TB (actually 1.8TB). I am guessing there is a firmware issue on the PCB. Joe Smith
